7:02 am
>> her only purpose to give birth. >> that's really unnecessary. >> it's harsh, isn't it? >> a manhunt underway after an armed gunman broke into the airport with 30 million pounds worth of diamonds. >> a mother had two sets of identical twins. not quadrew petersonets, two sets of identical twins on the same day. >> and the burger king will be replaced with the golden arches. >> this is my mid-life crisis, the bangs. >> all that matters -- >> the man credited with making basketball entertaining for the masses has passed away. lakers' owner jerry buss was 80 years old. >> every day people say, "thank you, and i appreciate that." >> on "cbs this morning." >> did you see pictures of president obama playing golf this past weekend with tiger woods? neither did we. >> i don't understand what the outrage is. you want to watch him shank and slice? >> you know you have a good marriage when you say, sure honey, go have a guys' weekend
7:03 am
with tiger woods in florida. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." nora o'donnell is on assignment. we've learned new details about what motivated adam lanza to go on a shooting spree last december in newtown, connecticut. >> the rampage at the sandy hook loophole elementary school killed 20 students and six faculty members. we have more. >> reporter: good morning. law enforcement sources tell cbs news that adam lanza was motivated by violent video games and a strong personal desire to kill more people than another infamous mass murderer. sources say adam lanza saw himself as being in direct competition with anders breivik, a norwegian man who killed 77 people in july 2011. breivik set off a bomb in
7:04 am
downtown oslo killing eight people, then moved to a nearby island where he hunted down and fatally shot 69 people mostly teenagers attending a summer camp. two officials who have been briefed on the connecticut investigation say lanza was obsessed with breivik and wanted to top his death toll. a former profiler says copycats are common in my- -- in high-profile crimes. >> his mentality would not just be i can beat him, but i can get more attention notoriety, do it more skillfully. >> reporter: lanza said to have attacked the nearby elementary school because it was the easiest target with the largest cluster of people. he apparently cut short his rampage as police arrived. unlike breivik who surrendered, lanza killed himself after first firing several shots at responding officers. investigators also believe violent video games played a role in lanza's murderous fantasies. and a trove of material has been recovered from lanza's basement.
7:05 am
sources say in lanza's mind, the killing of 20 children and six adults may have amounted to some kind of score. sources say he spent countless hours alone in the basement of his home in a private gaming room with the windows blacked out, honing his computer shooting skills. >> this now becomes their full-time job they're totally emerged in it. they are cut off from the rest of the family or from friends. it's not that it causes that it fuels what's already there. >> reporter: lanza also made multiple visits to nearby gun ranges with his mother nancy lanza, where they practiced together with actual weapons. three guns registered to nancy lanza were later used in the sandy hook massacre. lanza used the fourth weapon to kill his mother before the attack on the school. connecticut state police are publicly dismissing the lanza/breivik theory as "speculation," saying their investigation is not over and no final motive has been established. sources insist to us that investigators have found
7:06 am
evidence lanza was obsessed with breivik. meanwhile, the fbi is still trying to recover other information from lanza's smashed computer hoping to learn still more about what may have pushed lanza to act. back to you. >> thanks. senior correspondent john miller is a former fbi director. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> we're getting a clearer picture of what went on in lanza's mind. elaborate on what that picture is. >> well, it's a number of elements all at once charlie. a few things were going on in the lanza home. you had his mother who he had a very close relationship with throughout his life, but especially since the divorce because it was just them in the house. she had just gotten a new boyfriend. this was the first serious relationship since the divorce. and he would even stay over sometimes. it's likely that that may have been looked on by adam lanza as a wedge, as a threat to his relationship with his mother. from there we see him kind of descending into his own world. first he takes that game room
7:07 am
and completely blacks it out so you -- once you close the door the only reality in that room was him and that tv screen with his tactical shooting game. the second thing that happened was also interesting is he blacked out his own bedroom so that when he went in there and closed the door even without the shooting game, all you had there was total sensory deprivation. he was closing out the world around him to live within the world of this tactical shooting game. >> is the hard drive on the computer telling us anything? >> no, it's not, charlie. the fbi try there best technical tricks with it -- tried their best technical tricks with it. now they're talking to the manufacturer and others to see if they can do any better. they don't have a lot of hope there. >> it information we are hearing is pretty disturbing. where are investigators getting their information from? >> you can get computer information without the hard drive. one of the places those live is on other servers. that would include his e-mail server. that would also include anybody that he talked to on that
7:08 am
shooting game in the chat feature that it has where you talk to other players. of course, the good old-fashioned way which is interviewing people around him. one of the things they're learning is that when he played that game, the only way to get a point was not to shoot the opponent on the screen it had to be a kill shot to get the point. certainly as he went on -- when he stepped out of his fantasy into that terrible reality, that was the way he was shooting in the school. >> all right. john miller we thank you. john will be back with an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning." for the first time you'll hear from the lapd family hunted by christopher dorner. he was the ex-officer-turned-killer who left a manifesto vowing revenge. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." unless a deal is reached, we are now ten days away from drastic automatic government spending cuts. congress is on vacation but that is not stopping president obama from pushing for a solution. bill plante is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: charlie good morning to you. the president gets back into the
7:09 am
fight over those automatic budget cuts. in an appearance today here he'll push republicans to compromise so the cuts don't happen. and he'll be surrounded here at the white house by first responders, firefighters and emergency workers whose federal grants would be cut if the cuts go into effect. he'll frame the choice that protecting public safety or protecting the kind of tax loopholes that the republicans want to cut. when the president returned from a weekend golf vacation monday night, the budget battle was waiting. in less than two weeks, more than $85 billion in across-the-board cuts are set to take effect. it will impact virtually every major agency in washington. the pentagon could see roughly half of those reductions and that has republicans upset. >> we're going to begin to unravel the finest military in the history of the world at a time we need it most. >> reporter: mandatory cuts in domestic spending could also hit americans hard. there could be furloughs of food safety employees leading to a shortage of meat poultry, and
7:10 am
eggs, and pushing up food prices. 50,000 tsa workers could see their hours cut back. that would mean longer security lines for air travelers. and more than 350,000 people who need mental health treatment could be denied. hundreds of thousands of government workers from teachers to federal law enforcement agents are likely to be furloughed. many republicans admit the sequester isn't ideal, but they insist cuts have to be made. >> let me be very clear, and i'd say this to the president as i say it to you -- these spending cuts are going to go through on march 1. >> reporter: the white house warns the cuts would get phased in just as the stock market is bouncing back. >> our hope is that this does not happen. that we choose rather than make this an ideological fight as it appears to be now among some on the republican caucus that we just do a balanced approach to fix this problem. >> reporter: now alan simpson and erskine bowles whose plan to balance the budget was pretty much ignored by both parties
7:11 am
will propose a plan for rewriting the tax code and making deep spending cuts. it's a compromise they hope will work for both republicans and democrats. i have to say, the feeling here is that the cuts are likely to take place on march 1 and last a few weeks until the public feels the pain and congress gets the message. charlie, gayle? >> thanks. we told you yesterday about a white house immigration proposal being denounced by some in congress. white house officials say this morning only half the plan was revealed. it would offer illegal immigrants a path to become legal residents. they say the rest of the plan covers long-term issues like bringing more highly skilled foreign workers to america. former white house adviser, david axelrod, says it was a mistake to put out details on the white house plan so soon. a report says china's responsible for cyber-attacks on the united states and other countries. a virginia-based security company says it traced 141 cases
7:12 am
of hacking to a single chinese military unit based outside of shanghai. calls the unit "one of the most prolific cyber espionage groups." china's foreign ministry says the charges are groundless. the murder charge against track runner oscar pistorius has been upgraded. the double amputee again became emotional in the south african courtroom. prosecutors reveal what they claim happened on the night his girlfriend was shot dead. we have more from the courthouse in pretoria on the latest. emma, good morning it you. >> reporter: pistorius has had a statement read out in court today in which he has said he had no intention of killing his girlfriend. he wept as it was read out. his lawyer giving his version of events saying that he heard a noise, he didn't have his legs on when he was in bed, his prostheet is-- prosthesis.
7:13 am
he thought his girlfriend was behind him. the prosecution is saying he got up, went deliberately to the bathroom shot through the locked door thinking his girlfriend was inside this. they're disputing the defense's claim that he thought he was shooting a burglar. south african prosecutors have now won the right to charge pistorius with premeditated murder. if convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. the prosecution claimed the athlete deliberately shot his girlfriend four times in a range after a valentine's day argument. they say he should stay in custody until his trial begins. pistorius' lawyers argue the killing was a tragic accident. they say he thought he was shooting an intruder. it was not premeditated they say, and they want him free to prepare his defense. south african legal expert steven tucson says this hearing is a chance for the prosecution to get pistorius' version of events on the record.
7:14 am
>> what a good prosecutor will do is he will focus his questioning on the actual night of the offense and extract merits, factual answers from the suspect that can be unearthed and can be used in the trial. >> reporter: what happened on the night of her murder is being disputed in a packed courtroom, reeva steenkamp is being laid to rest at a private funeral in her hometown of port elizabeth. her family faced the cameras to speak of their grief. >> we're family -- reeva -- >> reporter: back in court, there were more tears. pistorius' family huddling around him sobbing as he faced the prospect of months in jail awaiting trial. the hearing is continuing, and his lawyers are still trying to argue that he should be released on bail.
7:15 am
back to you. >> emma, thanks. a winter storm system is gaining strength this morning and threatening blizzard-like conditions and pushing into the upper midwest. windchill advisories are posted in the dakotas and minnesota where drivers face whiteout conditions. some parts of minnesota are so bad, snowplows are being kept off the road. at least two deaths are blamed on the dangerous weather. meteorologist mike augustanak from wcco is tracking a series of storms. winter storm watches up for much of the midwest. these if into effect during the day wednesday and will last in some cases through friday. from the twin cities of minneapolis and st. paul through south dakota, nebraska missouri kansas, and affecting highways 90 70 80 and 35. pretty heavy snow on the way. the storm is moving on shore today in the pacific northwest. it's coastal rain and mountain snow potentially over a foot in the sierra-nevada range. rain for los angeles coming up

7:17 am
investigators say a leak in a fuel line caused the fire in the engine room of the "triumph." the ship was left without power and working toilets for five days. authorities say the crew responded properly. the ship was eventually towed to alabama, but investigators want to know why the ship was adrift for so long. a brazen multimillion dollar diamond heist at the brussels airport. eight masked robbers broke through a security fence, drove up to a passenger plane headed to switzerland. they grabbed an estimated $50 million in precious stones from the plane's cargo hold. within minutes, they drove out the same way. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. the "washington post" says european countries won't arm syrian rebels. britain pushed the idea at a meeting of foreign ministers. the u.s. has also rejected the idea. "usa today" says there's a change of tactics for teachers and students if they become targets of a shooting. in the past they were told to hide and wait for help. now police videos tell victims to confront a shooter if all

welcome back to "cbs this morning." two married police officers were at the top of revenge killer christopher dorner's hit list. the fired lapd officer not only threatened them but also their children. >> our senior correspondent, john miller, is a former head of the lapd major crimes division. he spoke with the couple in an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning." good morning to you. >> good morning from los angeles. when i mitt met phil tangaredes he was working in l.a. before donor earn was fired from
7:31 am
the lapd -- dorner was fired from the lapd, he went to the board. and tangaredes went to the board. dorner is now deceased but is accused of killing four and wounding three others. as a member of the board, phil tangaredes recommended dorner's fire, and that put him and his family at the top of dorner's hitlist. captain phillip tangaredes returned to the streets of l.a. with his wife. i asked what it was like for their family two cops with six children living in the cross crosshairs. >> they don't teach us in the academy how to protect your family when there's a maniac that wants to kill your children. >> reporter: captain tangaredes was one of the hearing officers on the board that fired dorner for making false statements about another officer. dorner's rampage began by targeting randy kwan the lawyer who defended him at the hearing by killing his daughter monica and her fiance keith lawrence.
7:32 am
>> what really made it different for me and what really drove it home was that he had already acted. he had already killed somebody else's child. >> reporter: dorner would open fire on other officers who were searching for him. officers believe dorner had stalked them. he was spotted by neighbors outside the tangaredes' home. >> what was it like at home? >> i got the phone call. the first thing i did was call and get hold of the kids to find out where they were. got them together. once we got home, we explained to the kids as best we could that there was a threat but we had to be strong. we had to put up the front that everything's good, you're protected here. >> i didn't sleep at night. we had two officers posted in our back yard. and every 20, 25 minutes, i'd just get up and look out my window. and there they were standing tall with their gun in hand and their helmet on. and they never slept.
7:33 am
>> and what about this threat coming not from a gang member not from a drug boss but from a former lapd officer who you worked with? >> i was in denial. i kept asking my husband, are you sure? the one that worked harbor when i worked harbor? it took a couple of hours for us to really sit down and let this sink in and realize that, you know, this is real. >> reporter: dorner's manifesto named tangeredes and other officers as part of a racially biased lapd establishment that fired him unfairly. but to travel through the streets of southeast l.a. -- >> you doing all right? >> reporter: once ravaged by gang violence, phil and amatta have strong supporters in the neighborhood where police were once looked on as the enemy. >> some of us when we talk about captain t. and his wife, it doesn't have anything to do with their careers or what they do.
7:34 am
they're just good-hearted people and they're real people. >> they're like our family. again, our community has changed tremendously. we went through a lot. and captain and mrs. tangaredes they always been in our corner. >> i've been in southeast for six years. no captain's ever worked here for that long. i'm here because we have made a huge change in the relationship of the police officers with the community. >> were you surprised to see when that dynamic was reversed? when it was you two who were under the gun, that the community responded the way that you have to them? will. >> i was surprised because normally we're not the recipient of those phone calls and those good words. and we had community members from watts calling and saying "we need you here we can't let
7:35 am
anything happen to you." >> did you get to read the manifesto? >> i got through the first two paragraphs and stopped reading. >> one of the things he says is nothing has changed since rampart. nothing has changed since rodney king. nothing's improved since the '90s. what do you think? >> i am an example that things have changed especially within the los angeles police department. i've been given the same opportunity as christopher dorner has been given. >> reporter: searching for a silver lining, phil and amatta say they learned two things -- that the pressure brought on their family last week brought them closer together. and that the community they help protect was ready to protect them, too. >> feels good, though. i was a little apprehensive, but it feels good to be back and out. it does. >> now when the threat against the family became public an offer of protection came from a most unlikely source charlie
7:36 am
and gayle. it was the basis point-- bountyhunters gang, one of the most feared in l.a. offered to protect them and their family. >> what does that say about their relationship to the community? >> that says something unusual, charlie. i mean that is a new level of community outreach and relations that a gang would even make an offer like that for a police officer, let alone a captain. >> has dorner's charge gained any traction anywhere? >> one of the unusual twists is it's gained a lot of traction on twitter, on the internet. there's whole discussions. that probably has to do with the fact that the lapd has a history going back to the rodney king incident the riots and so on. but there's also been a lot of change since then. and the discussion that's out there doesn't seem to account for a lot of that. >> john miller thank you. the right foods could help your memory, even fight alzheimer's.

knowing anybody. the beautiful news is we now know what seems to be triggering that so that we can avoid it. three things. the first is if you look inside the brain of a person who's getting alzheimer's disease there are little collections of proteins. called beta amyloid. and if you look at what contributes to that, saturated fat, that's the fats in meats and in dairy products. number two, the transfats. doughnuts, pastries. and the third, if you look inside those little amyloid plaques, they have traces of metals -- iron copper aluminum. that can come from cookware everyday products. those things transfats, saturated fats the metals seem to be contributing to that process. we can avoid those things. >> i had to have a moment when you said that in your book. you said healthy diets exclude meat and dairy, all of which i've eaten in the last 24 hours. you're saying what we should be concentrating and eating are plants? >> the four food groups that everybody should be focusing on -- vegetables, fruits, whole

8:03 am
investigators believe that violent video games played some kind of role in lanza's murderous fantasies. sources say in lanza's mind, the killing of 20 children and six adults at sandy hook's school very well may have amounted to some kind of score. sources say he spent countless hours alone in the basement of his home. in a private gaming room with the windows blacked out, honing his computer shooting skills. officials would not say what they found specifically that leads them to believe that lanza was obsessed with breivik. and a con -- the connecticut state police are publicly calling the theory speculative pointing out the investigation is not over and they say no final motive has been established. charlie, gayle? >> thanks. olympic track star oscar pistorius says this morning he shot and killed his girlfriend by mistake. pistorius claims he thought she was a burglar. in a south african courtroom, his lawyer read a statement. in it pistorius said he thought an intruder broke through his bathroom window.

8:05 am
of minutes. they never boarded the plane, and not a single shot was fired. police have found a burned out van near the airport, but little else in the way of clues at this point. investigators do say that the men were dressed to look like police officers and even had blue lights on their cars. charlie, gayle? >> kelly, bold move. do they have any suspects? >> reporter: not as yet. still looking for clues, still looking for suspects. but they're looking for eight men. >> thank you kelly. a winter storm in the upper midwest is moving east and causing new trouble. the storm created whiteout conditions on monday. north dakota shut down traffic on interstate 29 because of blowing snow and poor visibility. let's check in with meteorologist mike augustinak of our minneapolis station, wcco. mike, what can you tell us about the storm? the problems still continue across the dakotas and western minnesota. the bigger problem for the country is what's going to move in to the midwest coming up tomorrow through thursday into friday.
8:06 am
the winter storm watches are up from minneapolis to kansas city down through southern parts of kansas, as well. its highways interstates 35 90, 80 and 70 under the gun for tough travel the next couple of days. the culprit is this storm dropping into the pacific northwest. coastal rain, mountain snow, wind gusts to hurricane force in some of those mountain passes of the sierra-nevada. rain for l.a. coming up later tonight. then the storm moves across the rockies, brings some potentially severe weather from austin to dallas starting tomorrow and spreads ice and snow into oklahoma, southern kansas, and then that snow really picks up through the day wednesday into thursday. look at the totals. over a foot and a half possible in the pink area of southern nebraska, northern kansas. windy, too. possibly blizzard conditions. three to six inches reaching toward the twin cities and into the dakotas. and on the east side of the storm, there's some flooding going on right now in the gulf coast. there will be more of that thursday through the weekend with the rain from this

8:08 am
would mean longer security lines for air travelers. more than 350,000 people who need mental health treatment could be denied. hundreds of thousands of government workers from teachers to federal law enforcement agents are likely to be furloughed. many republicans admit that sequester is not ideal, but they insist that cuts have to be made. the president attempts today to use public opinion to force them into a compromise. charlie, gayle? >> bill plante, thanks. hip replacement surgery has to be redone far more often in women than in men. a study published in jama internal medicine, "jama internal medicine," shows hip replacements fail about 2% of the time. however, they failed 29% more often in women, researchers say and they do not know why. the duchess of cambridge headed out and about this morning. the former kate middleton now four months pregnant. looking good. stopped by an addiction treatment center in london. she met with women recovering

[ all talking at once ] >> very important. >> one at a time. >> he's the main figure of the church. everybody looks to him for the answer of everything. i mean if he's not going to be there, who is everybody going to turn to? >> you're 20 years old. >> right. >> you don't look like a church-goer. >> i know. >> but what does he represent to you that makes him so important? >> he's that miracle behind the faith. like he will be there whenever something goes wrong. >> first when i heard it the first thing i thought is what scandal is going to come up. >> if there is something being amassed, is he really resigning to not confront it? >> to me it's a letdown. i feel that i've been let down. >> discouraging.
8:15 am
>> it's discouraging. >> it lets us down. it feels like we don't have a leader, someone that leads by the catholic religion. >> i disagree. i think it's for the good for all masses. he wants to be fully functional 100%. >> right. >> to all. and if he can't conform to the duties of the pope then he should step aside and -- >> i want to understand what catholicism means to you personally. >> catholicism and christianity is you live it. it's not just, gee, i believe this, and i'm going to sit in the corner. >> sometimes the dogmas are just too strict for me. i do believe in compassion but i think, you know i'm a little more open with choice. i think, you know a woman's right to choose, that goes against the catholic church. >> i don't believe in abortion. however, in this society now, i'm just not going to tell somebody else you can't do it, you know. and that kind of puts -- that puts you at odds with your own beliefs. in this society, you have to be more or less politically
8:16 am
correct. >> it's evolved. the catholic religion has not. >> when you go to p.c. you don't have a conversation like this. i mean, it's crazy. i can't say, gee, i love christ you know, because somebody may be muslim. wait a minute, i have friends who are muslim we talk about things. what religion somebody is. there's good and bad in everything. >> what's happening to the church? >> need i remind you of the scandals of the past ten years? of what has happened? >> at this point, if i had to leave my child with a priest for him to watch my child for the day, that would not happen. >> come on. >> it would not happen. it -- i would not leave my child. i would not. because there's too much that has happened in the past that it can repeat itself. and i will not ever do that. >> who in this room would be uncomfortable leaving their children with a priest? >> depends on the priest -- [ all talking at once ] >> why, why, why? priests are supposed to be -- >> i understand that. however, you leave your child in

8:18 am
>> yes. definitely. it t's got to be better than this. [ laughter ] >> frank joins us now. frank, so summarize. what do they want in a pope and what do they want for their church? what kind of church? >> they're hoping for somebody younger because they want the enthusiasm and energy that pope john paul ii brought to the catholic church. they want someone who doesn't necessarily look like them. they want someone who really has a sense of passion, that wants to reignight catholicism not just in america but across the globe. >> you said they want someone who doesn't necessarily look like them did. they mention latin america or africa? >> they mentioned the catholic leader out of brazil that several of them spoke of. basically what they're looking for is one who will bring accountability to the church. someone who will reinvigorate that sense of enthusiasm for catholicism, and someone who's going to be around for a long long time.

family, making up 47% of household earnings up from 38% in 1988. the husband's amount has dropped to 58%. the last recession hit men especially hard. the "wall street journal" says scientists are looking at how much genetics play a role in whether you like exercising your lung capacity and ability to carry oxygen can affect how much you move around. those who don't normally exercise or work out too quickly may be pushing themselves beyond their limits. chris o'donnell got his first real smell of success in the al pacino movie "scent of a woman." how he plays a special agent on "ncis los angeles." here's more from the episode. >> my daughter's school is doing a living history book. all the parents are dressing up as historical figures and talking about their accomplishments. >> you're going as neil armstrong? >> no, guy bluford, first black astronaut in space. >> sorry. the only black astronaut i know is land oho calrissien.
8:32 am
>> hello, chris o'donnell. >> how are you? >> i'm good. how many times do people walk up to you and go hoo-ah? i won't do it today. >> i get that a lot of "batman and robin" comments and now comment about "ncis los angeles." >> tonight is the start of a new season. you're directing. >> yeah. i finished directing an episode that's going to be on march 5, which was my first time directing. great, new experience for me. whole new appreciation for how many people work on the show. i mean it really is -- as an actor, you think it's just the crew that you see on the set every day. suddenly when you direct you have your two weeks of preproduction and -- meeting everyone in the office, that sort of thing. the post production which was a great experience getting to go in and, you know you see the kind of basic assembly that an editor's put together. but being able to tweak the scenes and find the special beats is what was really exciting for me. >> did if feel good like something you would like to do? >> absolutely.
8:33 am
this is such a great opportunity to have that experience. it's -- being allowed into a special workshop. it's different than if i went and directed on -- an independent film or something. you have a lot more artistic leeway. here we've got a framework. the show works a certain way. and there are higher ups that have total control over what will ultimately be put on the screen. an amazing learning experience for me. >> that's nice. >> what's going to happen in "ncis"? >> well, this is a bridge episode that i directed involving some stolen nuclear weapons. that's going to come up, i think, toward the end of the season, as well. but my character's storyline was light so his a few days off to direct the scenes. that's tricky, when you're actually in the scene and you're -- a three-page scene and you're there and watching the monitor. god, i've got to go in. you have to jump into character and get into the scene. >>. >> it's my turn, my turn. i've got to get in. one of the most fascinating things to me, and i know it's a
8:34 am
story that's been told, but i love it, chris, that you have five kids. >> i do. >> that you made your decision early on in your career either i'm going to be married family man or the hot hollywood guy. how did you decide that this was the way to go? you could have done both. >> i don't know that it was that premeditated. i never thought i would get married at 26. my dad got married at 35. i figured i'd go down that road. sounded like a pretty good program to me. it wasn't anything -- i met the right girl and that really was the deciding factor. looking back, it's -- i think you got to be true yourself and what you know who you are. >> yep. >> that f that makes sense. >> it does. >> i knew i wanted to have a family. i come from one of seven and it was important to me. doesn't mean you can't do it at a different time in your life. but for me i met the right girl -- >> at the right time. >> your best friend's sister? >> exactly. and -- you know i think i knew deep down it was -- she was -- i knew she was the right one, but i also knew this was real life
8:35 am
to me. >> did you actually think i'm making a conscious decision family versus stardom, or did you do what you want to do, believing you can have both and things will work out? >> i think i knew in the back of my head -- you know, it was turning down a different road for sure. >> yeah. >> because it -- it is part of the whole business when you're young, you know, single guy in the business, to kind of play up that side of the role. it is. it adds to the whole thing. but it wasn't who i was. i met the right person. i think looking back, it seemed more strategic -- it wasn't. i fell in love and got married. >> you make her sound amazing. >> she is an amazing girl. i remember when i called my parent and told them i was getting married. my dad almost fell over. they loved my wife -- >> part of the fun, too -- >> shocked. >> what does the "g "stand for? >> we still don't know. i don't know. >> you don't know? >> i think we're going to find out next year maybe. it's been something that has been an ongoing sort of --
8:36 am
trying to find out who he is who his family. is he's lived in 20 different foster homes growing up. it's been a constant search. >> complicated. the part of the fun of the show is the chemistry between you and l.l. cool jay. he was on last week at the grammys. i happened to bump his arm. it's like a brick. >> yeah. >> i'm thinking -- >> yeah. marble. it's unbelievable. people come visit on the set, it's -- part of my tour is -- come on out again. you got let somebody grab your arm here. >> chris o'donnell, congratulations. continued success. >> thank you very much. thank you. >> and you can see chris o'donnell on "ncis: los angeles" at 9:00 8:00 central on cbs. david kelly brought the world the computer mouse. founder of the silicon valley firm that uses human behavior to design things we use every day. kelly's team showed "60 minutes" how in just two days they found new ways to get kids eating healthier. >> big thing about this type of thinking is it allows people to
8:37 am
build on the ideas of others. instead of -- instead of just having one thread, you think about it -- i come up with an idea, somebody from somewhere else says, oh that makes me think we should do this. we could do that. you get to a place that you just can't get to in one mind. >> the key to unlocking creativity at ideo may be their unorthodox approach to problem solving. they throw a bunch of people with different backgrounds together in a room. you're in the business end? >> yep. >> my background is in software engineering. >> journalism. >> aerospace engineer. >> doctors, opera singers, anthropologists for example, and get them to brainstorm. you got to have a certain culture. you got to have collaboration. you got to have diversity. you got to have an anthropologist and business person and an engineer and computer scientist all of those -- >> you got it. that's the hard part is the cultural thing of having a diverse group of people and having them be good at building on each other's ideas. >> they encourage wild ideas and visualized solutions by making actual prototypes. but the main tenet is empathy
8:38 am
for the consumer. figuring out what humans really want by watching them. >> if you want to improve a piece of software, all you have to do is watch people using it and see when they grimace, then correlate that to where they are in the software and fix that right? and so the thing is to really build empathy. try to understand people through observing them. >> in other words, the experience will communicate what you need to focus on. >> yeah. exactly. so if i give you a project to work on, an area to work on, you need to understand everything that surrounds that. like you understand the people that we use it you have to talk to experts about what's going on. >> in this case, the experts are kids. >> we're trying to understand what they feel and what they think. >> the team split up and tried to learn as much as possible about what kids like and don't like. they watched kids at home and watch them at school. one team even goes shopping with kids. >> what do you think would you get it? if there was a snack of the month club?
8:39 am
>> at home the teams brainstorm or-year ideate as they call it. every idea no matter how crazy -- >> justin bieber's face -- >> is jotted on a post-it note and thrown on a wall. then comes the prototype. >> yep. then comes the prototype. >> how important is that? >> really important. the thing that's important about prototyping is you want everybody in the world to help you. so the way you can visualize that is to paint a picture of the future with your idea in it. so i make the experience of what it's like to have this. >> go up and down -- >> the kids are brought back in to test the prototypes and give feedback. >> i think it's a pretty good idea that it comes to you. >> then i show you again and you say, you know i think it should be bigger. >> you play with it and modify -- almost like sculpturing. >> right. >> after just two days of work the team unveils five final products. ♪ >> a melody fork that makes
8:40 am
music when you eat food like vegetables. >> we have kitchens -- >> and cooking skills allow you to earn points and graduate levels. and a bracelet that tracks movement and lets kids challenge their friends to be active. >> it's encouraging me to be active throughout the day. if i go home and i'm not green, maybe mom says, you know you need to do more activity before you watch tv. >> interesting. we think of designers as designing cars and jewelry and things like this. this team is designing solutions to big social issues. >> they're enthusiastic. there's something about working in an environment where everybody's enthusiastic that i think makes -- >> they come from different places and collaborate at a high level. >> yeah. i like it. john kerry says he's got some big heels to fill. three of the last four secretaries of state, as you know, have been women including madeleine albright. we'll talk to her about the many

8:43 am
the new secretary of state, john kerry planning his trip to the middle east next week. one of his goals is to find answers to the deepening crisis in syria. with us, former secretary of state madeleine albright who served under president clinton. thank you for being here. >> great to be with you. thank you. >> the "new york times" reports that there is a possibility that the obama administration will reconsider its past decisions not to arm the rebels. is that the right move at this time? >> well, charlie, i think the important part is always to follow whatever is going on and decide what the best thing to do is. i know when we were in office, you look at an issue, you make a decision. it's a rolling decision. but i think they're watching it very, very carefully. and what's been amazing is the amount of aid that the u.s.
8:44 am
government has given to syria nonlethal aid. >> the question is was it the right decision not to arm them earlier? >> i think it was. i think it was done very carefully with the idea that there are a lot of arms in there. i do think it's also correct to keep looking at these decisions because the situation changes. i think it's great -- i don't know exactly where secretary kerry is going, but obviously he knows a great deal about the subject. and his views will be very, very important in all of this. >> did you get a kick out of john kerry saying that he had very -- he had large heels to fill? >> i have to say, he stole my line. when i became secretary of state i said -- i hope my heels fill warren christopher's shoes. we go back and forth on that. >> so when you look at the challenges facing the united states also on the table is iran has a meeting next week. do you believe sanctions are working, and do you believe the
8:45 am
iranian behavior may change? >> this is going to be a talk now, february 26 about the p-5 plus one. they are going to keep pushing iran. and i think the sanctions are working because we hear an awful lot about problems within the iranian economy. but ultimately we're going to have to see what our policy is as the president said, containment is not enough. and all options are on the table. but these are important talks because they do have to be a multilateral push to isolate iran internationally. >> you were the only one at the table that knows what it's like to step down as secretary of state. how do you think hillary clinton is feeling? do you all have secretary of state withdrawal? >> well, i don't know about her. i certainly did. >> did you? >> i think part of the issue is you go like a bat out of hell basically -- >> yeah. >> until kind of noon of the day that you don't anymore. and you have always read the papers and followed you guys on news. and you think, i have to say some being that. and all of a sudden you're not secretary of state, and you don't have to say anything about
8:46 am
it. but there is a certain amount of withdrawal. and i loved being secretary of state. so it's -- you know there's so many other things. but i do understand, you know that kind of like being dropped off a cliff. >> yeah. >> looking at history for a moment with the looming world war ii, you talk about your parents feeling the helplessness of czechoslovakian leaders. >> well my book really does analyze what happened at the beginning of world war ii, how it happened. you know, kind of a feeling of being left alone, the fact that the major powers in the world let this small country be sold down the river. and i think that comes with a sense of trying to figure out how this happened, why it happened, what the consequences of it were going to be. i think basically kind of a feeling who've cares, why do people care. >> thank you madam secretary. good to have you here. >> good to see you. >> madeleine albright's book is out in paperback. a finish line for a race to

8:50 am
to do is definitely up there on screen. and when my friends and family went to see the film at the philadelphia premiere, they said, "that's matthew quick on the screen the whole time." >> what is the heart of what you wanted to do? >> well, you know at the time i was trying to tell a good story. but you know in retrospect when you psycho analyze yourself i was trying to write about things that were important to me, mainly mental health trying to reinvent myself. you know, pat is a character who's trying to figure things out in his 30s trying to put his best self forward. >> it's very difficult, managementmatthew, as you know, to talk about mental health on screen. do you think your movie has made it easier for people to discuss it? >> people are telling us that. both the novel and the movie. i get emails every day from people who are members of the mental health community who are saying thank you for just opening a dialogue. regardless of how they feel about the film or the book, they're glad people are talking. and many people are telling us that the book and the film are depicting something that they find very authentic. something that people aren't
8:51 am
talking about, unfortunately. >> did you simply sell them the book and then say, good-bye you know, it's up to you to make the film, or did they consult with you as they were making the film? >> well, i sold the book in hopes that we would get to this point, you know. and the people that were tagged to be involved, david russell mainly, are fantastic storytellers. so i wouldn't say that i just kind of kissed it good-bye, but you know, we definitely surrounded ourselves with people that were going to make a great product and be respectful of the source material. i was not involved in the adaptation. >> go ahead. >> today matthew, is the last day that people can vote for the oscars for best picture. and i'm telling you, if you're doing a movie, there's no better partner than harvey weinstein who will go to the ends of the earth to promote a movie. he is so relentless. do you feel like you're -- >> at the end of the night. >> at the end of the night. the middle of the night, harvey weinstein can be on the phone. do you feel like you're in the middle of a campaign yourself? how are you feeling about the chances of -- for the movie?
8:52 am
>> i feel great about it, about the chances. and harvey's been fantastic. he is a great partner. his lunch with him a couple of weeks anything tribeca. we did talk about the fact that this movie is promoting mental health. that means a lot to harvey. it means a lot to david. means a lot to myself. i feel like we have very good chances. but i also feel like we already won because people are talking about mental health. you know, it's making people feel better about situations creating dialogue. >> matthew? we're out of time but thank you very much. good luck to the film and to you. >> good luck. >> that does it for us. up next local news. we'll see you tomorrow here on "cbs thi
